Saban Films announced that it has acquired domestic rights to Michael Keaton‘s directorial debut, Knox Goes Away. With a script written by Gregory Poirier, Keaton also stars in the movie alongside Al Pacino, James Marsden, Marcia Gay Harden, Suzy Nakamura, John Hoogenakker, Joanna Kulig, Ray McKinnon, and Lela Loren.
Here is the plot synopsis:
“Knox Goes Away follows John Knox (Keaton), a contract killer with a rapidly evolving form of dementia, who is offered the opportunity to redeem himself by saving the life of the adult son with whom he had been estranged.”
The film premiered at the Toronto International Festival, where our editor-in-chief, Joey Magidson, saw it and gave a glowing review of the movie, stating that “Michael Keaton is excellent in this quietly powerful role. You believe him both as a deadly man of action as well as someone confused and angry by a degradation of their mental state. It’s never overplayed, either, which could have easily been the case. Keaton turns in the sort of steady work that’s made him a star over the years. You’ll truly appreciate him here.” You can read his full review of the movie here.
Saban Films says it is currently planning a 2024 first-quarter theatrical release for the movie. Stay tuned for more information soon!
